Prayer for Beatification or Canonization or intercession

          God our Father, by the grace of conversion you raised your servant, Joseph Dutton, from the darkness of war, betrayal, addiction, and despair to the liberating joy of charity in the service of the abandoned and isolated chronically ill.  

          Therefore we humbly ask you to allow him to intercede today for all who suffer on the periphery of human existence.  May he pray especially for us in our urgent need for (state your intention).  In so doing may he be listed among your saints in heaven, if it is for your glory and the building up of your kingdom on earth.  

          Amen.

With ecclesiastical approval by Bishop Lary Silva, Bishop of Honolulu
